Halloween Goblin Goo Parfaits with McCormick

Witches, ghosts, goblins and black cats, they’re the spooky side of Halloween. And what’s Halloween without a little spookiness? It can’t be all fairies and super heroes. I have good and evil in my house this year, two colorful fairies and a one eyed horned monster. Fun times.

I was invited to be part of McCormick’s Spooky Squad and share some fun Halloween recipes. Everything that came to mind revolved around goo or something oozing. I just couldn’t create a cutesie recipe when it’s for the Spooky Squad, that wouldn’t make sense.

It’s easy to transform an ordinary item, already well loved by kids and adults alike, into a spooky dessert. With the help of McCormick’s fun food color selection I was able to turn an everyday homemade vanilla pudding into goblin goo. It’ll be our little secret that it’s really pudding. Add crushed cookies for a fun layering effect and bonus flavor. It’s an easy spooky treat the entire family will enjoy.

This whips up in a matter of minutes. Feel free to use boxed pudding mix in a pinch but nothing beats the taste of homemade. Prepare a large batch ahead and serve it to your friends and family as a spooky Halloween treat.

It looks real tasty but I have some questions to ask some of us might have diabetes here couldn’t you use low fat goat milk and instant pudding to make this recipe since I know adults down in naples fl are watching their weight here. when you refer to heavy cream do you mean whipping cream?
when you say chill it do you mean the refrigerator or freezer until ready to serve?
Thank you

Heavy cream is different than whipping cream, it is also used for the fat content but you’re welcome to attempt to substitute a different milk product. Keep in mind that I haven’t done it that way so I can’t promise how the final product will turn out or taste. And yes, chill means refrigerate (freeze would mean to place in the freezer). Good luck and enjoy!
